To say that Rich Smith is a miricle-worker would be an understatement. Not only did he get us a great mortgage (from 5,000 kms away no less) but he also did so in a very short amount of time. We have dealt with two brokers in town before so I am confident in saying that Rich is THE best person to have on your side. He is productive, efficient, comitted, empathetic, and positive...when we would come across a road block and other brokers would say nothing else could be done, Rich found a way. Myself, my husband, and our children will forever be grateful for the work he put in to get us into our forever home.A few months ago my husband and I were just starting to look at the possibility of buying our first home.

A few months ago my husband and I were just starting to look at the possibility of buying our first home. It can be an overwhelming process to start, especially with the market being what it is. Rich proved to be an exceptional guide, with unending patience and thoughtful answers to our countless questions, he walked us through each step of the process. The Tekamar team went above and beyond, working tirelessly within a tight deadline to help us secure our dream home. Now happily settled, we cannot recommend their outstanding service enough!Tom was excellent!

Tom was excellent! As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and Tom was always willing to go the extra mile to explain things thoroughly or find us answers. We felt reassured that he was representing us and would find us the best mortgage suited to our needs. We left satisfied with our mortgage and equipped with a better understanding of the mortgage financing system. Thanks, Tom!I cannot adequately express my gratitude to everyone at Tekamar for their assistance with the purchase of our new home in Airdrie, Alberta.

I cannot adequately express my gratitude to everyone at Tekamar for their assistance with the purchase of our new home in Airdrie, Alberta. Just about everything that could go wrong during the process did go wrong beginning with the bank where we have been customers for over 50 years refused to help us with bridge financing after telling us that they would and so we committed to buying the house. We were sitting there with our necks out a mile and the bank did not care one iota. Enter Rich Smith at Tekamar. He was up front about the additional costs and fees and while I was not thrilled, at least I knew that there was a way out of our predicament. Through the entire process, Rich was extremely professional, comforting us at every stage and ensuring us that everything was under control and they could and would help us. Amie in the office was pure gold, always meeting us with a smile whenever we entered. When my printer/scanner broke down, Amie copied and scanned countless documents to multiple lawyers in Alberta for us. At the end of the day, the additional fees were so worth it. We wish that we had just gone through Tekamar to begin with. Now that we are settling into our home in Airdrie and expecting to receive the money from the sale of our home, we are so very grateful to our new friends back in Salmon Arm. Tekamar, you saved us and if we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call us.

My husband and I recently bought our first home and used Tekamar Mortgages for doing our pre-approval and the final purchase. The whole team there was very supportive, and helped us to truly understand everything about getting approved, and made buying a house so much better!We have used Tekmar now for two of our mortgages. It’s always intimidating doing a mortgage but Tom did a great job and made the experience easy and effortless. Thanks again Tom and Tekmar team for your great work and service !
Very helpful, especially for someone that had no idea how everything worked with getting a mortgage

Before I stumbled upon Tekamar, I held a skeptical view of brokers, believing they were solely focused on their own interests and indifferent towards their clients. Well, let me tell you, Tekamar shattered that misconception. It couldn't be further from the truth. What surprised me the most was that they represent you without charging any additional fees. Tekamar's primary responsibility is to scour the market for great deals and reliable mortgage providers for your home. They excel at finding the best providers with the most favorable rates, all while negotiating on your behalf. Think about it, can you really surpass their expertise by embarking on a DIY mortgage search, approaching your credit union or bank without any industry knowledge? The answer is a resounding no. That's precisely why you need a broker. Tekamar goes above and beyond. I spent countless hours on the phone with Tom, discussing the process, and he effortlessly explained everything, taking me along on the journey. He consistently justified his decisions and provided insightful explanations. Every single time, I found myself in agreement with his judgment. They are consummate professionals. Not only did they secure us amazing rates, but they also made the entire process feel as smooth as butter. A heartfelt thank you to Tom and the entire team at Tekamar. You guys are truly exceptional.Dozens of people from Salmon Arm, the Shuswap and acrsoss Canada have trusted us with their mortgage in the past six months. 113 were kind enough to share their experience on the internet.

(and a couple dozen more)Getting a mortgage without a broker, is a bit like DIY dentistry
Sure you could pull the tooth out yourself, but having a dentist would probably help.
Getting advice from a mortgage broker means making the right plan today, so you can start working towards your mortgage-free tomorrow.
Helping people beat the banks since 1979.
Tekamar Mortgages has been based in Salmon Arm, BC since 1979. In that time we've worked with thousands of people across Canada.
We built our business on repeat customers. The plan was simple: treat every customer like somone we'd like to work with again and again until they were mortgage free, then make a plan to get them there. Nearly half a century later and so far it has worked.
95% of Tekamar's customers returned for their second, third and even fourth mortgages. We're pretty proud of that, and would love the opportunity to show you why so many people trust us with one of their biggest decisions.
